Guest Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 i have had to inform ofsted about a child who took ill at nursery and had to go to hospital. I have followed this up in writing. But what happens now? Do ofsted just record the matter or do they have to come out and investigate it.
AnonyMouse_10713 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I think they only investigate if it was an accident.
Guest Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 We had to advise them of an accident that occurred and the HSE followed up. But it was not very intimidating at all, although it was a while after before we heard from them.
Guest Wolfie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 I had to inform them when a child broke his arm at our out of school club - nothing ever happened.
Guest Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 We had to inform them when one of our children had suspected meningitis. We'd been contacted by the Health Protection Unit (HPU) and they told us to telephone OFSTED as part of everything else we had to do OFSTED told us to confirm everything we'd done in writing. we got a letter about three months later acknowledging the letter and that was it.
Guest Wolfie Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Just make sure you've documented everything that happened, with times and people involved.
Guest Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Thankyou for you advice child had a seizure the hospital have not been able to find out why, it lasted for 1 hoiur 15 mins, no previous history, no bumps, no temp ect. Have documented and have seperate statements from all involved.
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 i wouldnt worry have rung them on two occasions about mumps and hand foot & mouth - never heard a thing!
AnonyMouse_10713 Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 How frightening for all concerned. Hope everything is ok.
Guest Posted June 14, 2008 Posted June 14, 2008 Went to see him today they are hoping to let him go home tomorrow he was happy, chatty and lively. As soon as he saw me he started dancing which he loves dancing, fed him his tea and sat and played cars with him for a while (rory the racing car), he cried when it was time to go think he wanted to come back to nursery with me. It was good to see him up and about because the day before when i went to see him he was still drowsy from sedatives for his CT scan.
Guest Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 ofsted phoned today to say thankyou for informing them and they are happy that we followed the correct procedure in getting help to the child quickly so no further action is necessary x
